[Can some1 start me of in displaying records from a database?]

My 'sports' page has three pictures(not loaded from a database but just created myself). U click on these links and it shows you(on a seperate page and displayed in a table) the records from a specific table from the database. Lets just say to display fields 'league', 'country'. I know ill have to start the php script with connecting to a database and a specific table, but how do i go about displaying the records from table. Also, the records must be stored in table.

Please help a beginner  8)  ;D

[how would i use html tags to format the below code :s]

<?php
echo date("d-m-y H:i:s", time());
$hours = date("G"); //24 hour time without leading zeros. eg. 0 or 23
if($hours >= 22 && $hours <= 3){
echo "My your up late arn't you!";
}elseif($hours >= 4 && $hours <= 7){
echo "My your up rather early!";
}elseif($hours >= 8 && $hours <= 12){
echo "Good morning, and how are we today?";
}elseif($hours >= 13 && $hours <= 17){
echo "<table align = center>"Good afternoon, are we having a nice day?";
}elseif($hours >= 18 && $hours <= 21){
echo "Good evening, hope you had a nice day.";
}

?>

Hi, i would like to know how id format the date to be displayed in the middle of page and how would i go about putting tags around say, 'echo "Good evening, hope you had a nice day.";' to edit it. Basically, i just need to know the correct use of tags in formattiing eg bold text, centered etc

thanks

[Is there anything wrong with this mail()]

ok thanks ken - would i have to change the code alot to make it work with phpmailer

[Is there anything wrong with this mail()]

Basically user enters in details through a form. Afterwards, emails are sent. The php code is below. Im using my isp for that smtp stuff which requires a pass. Anyway, once i subit the form, i get a'530 authentication required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a simple change to your email (known as SMTP authentication).' Is there a way to overcome this?

<?php
$to = 'wesley_pipes_@hotmail.com' ;
$from = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: $from";
$subject = "Web Contact Data";

$fields = array();
$fields{"name"} = "Name";
$fields{"message"} = "Comments";
$fields{"email"} = "Email";


$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b)
{ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); }


$headers2 = "From: noreply@YourCompany.com";
$subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us";
$autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us.Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible, usualy within 48 hours. If you have any
more questions, please consult our website at www.oursite.com";


if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";}
else {
if($name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";}
else {

$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
if($send)
{header( "Location: http://www.YourDomain.com/thankyou.html" );}
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify webmaster@YourCompany.com"; }
}
}
?>

[Is the format of this 'loggedon.php' program ok.]

Basically, I log in through a form, below is the code that proceeds

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("memberdir") or die(mysql_error());

$appusername = $_POST['login_name'];
$apppassword = $_POST['password'];

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE username = '$appusername' AND password = '$apppassword'");
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
  $_SESSION['authenticatedUser'] = $appusername;
  header("Location: loggedon.php");
}
else {
  $_SESSION['message'] = "Could not connect as $appusername";
  header("Location: login.php");
